[QUOTE]Originally posted by PullmanCo: [QB] Well, these went on the KS-DOT website a couple weeks ago... Kansas has its Tier 2 app in: http://www.ksdot.org/PDF_Files/HSIPR-Final-Track-2-Grant-Overview-Document.pdf http://www.ksdot.org/PDF_Files/HSIPR-Final-Track-2-Grant-Application.pdf Kansas wants $10M, no match (all Feddybux), to upgrade the Santa Fe from Newton to the KS/OK line for 79MPH running. BTW, here is what Joseph Szabo of the FRA said October 6: [QUOTE]“We have received numerous applications from states and groups of states for the development of high-speed and intercity passenger rail programs for grant funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. These include 45 applications from 24 states totaling approximately $50 billion to advance high-speed rail corridor programs. We also received 214 applications from 34 states totaling $7 billion for corridor planning and smaller projects. Due to the overwhelming response and our desire to lay the groundwork for a truly national high-speed and intercity passenger rail program, we will be announcing all awards this winter. Our selections will be merit-based and will reflect President Obama’s vision to remake America’s transportation landscape. We look forward to further evaluating these proposals and spurring economic development while providing Americans with clean, energy-efficient transportation choices in the years and decades to come.”[/QUOTE]57 chasing 8. 7 dollars chasing every available grant dollar. 79 MPH. Oh, this one is good... I've been googling through ODOT... there is not a parallel grant request for railroad improvement from OKC to the KS/OK state line. When I do my thumbnail map measurement scale of googlemaps, the 85 miles mentioned in the Kansas app strictly covers from the border to Newton. Next up, the preliminary $200K feed a consultant study is due back in December... [/QB][/QUOTE]
